About Built It. Broke It. Fixed It.

So many podcasts focus only on success, but sometimes we learn more from mistakes, failures, and the difficult moments along the way.

 

Built It. Broke It. Fixed It. is a relaxed podcast about the real side of business, life and everything that comes with trying to build something. Hosted by Chris Carroll, Vladeta Radovanovic and Anthony Leung, this podcast looks at what running a business is really like behind the scenes. Not the polished version.

 

With over 25 years of combined business experience, they've been through it all, the highs, the lows, building teams, creating culture, defining USPs, marketing, scaling up and everything in between.

 

Coming from different business and cultural backgrounds, it feels more like sitting down in a coffee shop for an honest chat than a corporate interview. There's humour, different opinions, real stories and plenty of moments most business owners will relate to. We want to keep it lighthearted, but the messages are real.

 

We talk about the real issues, employing people, leadership, growth, mistakes, failures, setbacks and the things that don't always get spoken about. The aim is simple, to remind you that you are not alone and to keep going.

 

Because sometimes you build it, sometimes you break it, and sometimes fixing it is where the real growth happens.
